should forever changes really be considered a psychedelic album?

[Polythene Pam]

yes

[videoheadcleaner]

Well that seems pretty definite.

Next case...

[Guest]

Lolwhat? Of course it should...

EDIT: Also, welcome to BEA! Sorry to just jump all over your first post like that. I guess we're all just a little confused because in this community it's pretty well accepted that Forever Changes is a psychedelic album. However, now I'm intrigued. Why do you disagree?

[Borve Baunehoj]

No it shouldn't. It's just got druggy lyrics.

[CellarDoor]

I'd go for psychedelic pop with hints of baroque pop (great orchestration).

It's an extremely psychedelic album. "Old man" probably has the highest number of modulations in pop music history.

[Facetious]

🤣

Next, somebody will be asking whether Sgt. Pepper is a psychedelic album.

But hey, this is the guy's first post! Let's welcome him!

And what, do you have any reasons for NOT thinking it's psychedelic? Please enlighten us!

I read this on another site and cannot confirm Arthur Lee's statement :

"I was into the era but I wasn't a flower child. Forever Changes isn't psychedelic." - Arthur Lee discussing Love in a long interview in June 2002 issue of Uncut magazine, pg. 102
